The Veil, Functional sculpture, United Kingdom

Project info

An elegant interplay of concealment and revelation

The Veil is an impressive 17-metre solid brass sculpture that inspires curiosity and intrigue in the fast paced city centre.

Suspended on the first floor of a historic building on London’s St James Street, it artfully conceals a mezzanine office from the lobby below.

Its louvred construction allows light to dance softly through it, infusing the space behind with a gentle, ethereal glow. Whilst offering the people within a connection to the world outside.

The Veil’s presence is both commanding and comforting, a blend of precision and warmth that guides and soothes those who pass beneath it.
